Adoptive Parenting is not for the faint-of-heart.

I provide education, inspiration, and transformation for adoptive parents of challenging children, by integrating trauma-informed parent coaching and Deep Stress Transformation.

Certified Trainer through the Beyond Consequences Institute.

I am passionate about helping parents who are raising challenging children, by walking with them on their own path toward self-acceptance and healing.

In addition to training as an experiential psychotherapist, I am adoptive parent to my two amazing grandchildren, so I have been there, done that, and I GET it. So, if you are seeking Radical Acceptance...for yourself, for your child, for your family...for the world...I can help you. And, as a Certified Trainer with the Beyond Consequences Institute, I provide instruction and coaching in this love-based mode

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides long-term or brief-term psychotherapy to individuals or couples. I work with adolescents and adults who have a variety of concerns, including: academic and work problems, AD/HD, anxiety, chronic health problems, depression and mood disorders, learning issues, relationship problems, and trauma. If you have any of these issues, there are many ways for you to be more comfortable, confident, and content. Working together, we will identify specific strategies to help you reduce distress, increase satisfaction, and move forward in your life.

I also provide psychological assessments in the following domains: cognitive, AD/HD, and personality. An assessment can help you understand how you think, feel, and behave, and indicate strategies to improve your life.

We are always, already in relationship; whether it is a relationship to another person, place, or oneself, we are in some way connected and affected by our surroundings. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound healing can occur. I utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (past and present), as well as the greater context of society, culture, and the natural world- to illuminate why you work the way you do, and how you can choose new ways of being that bring you greater joy, strength, and clarity. I have found profound meaning working with a diverse range of individuals and couples. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples, which has proven to be a powerful and effective approach to both individual & couples therapy.
